The new flagship at Mazda is called the CX-80

Japanese automaker Mazda will bring another SUV to the market starting this summer, probably starting at 60,000 euros. And it will be the flagship of the brand.

After the CX-60, the CX-80 is the second model based on a large platform with longitudinally installed drives. The car is available as either a six-seater or a seven-seater.

Electric drives

The CX-80’s two electric drives – a PHEV hybrid and a 3.3-liter 254-liter six-cylinder diesel engine with a 48-volt electrical system – provide power and excellent environmental characteristics.

Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and mated to the i-Activ AWD all-wheel drive system as standard. It basically drives the rear wheels and supplies the front wheels with varying torque depending on the driving conditions and driving conditions.

Mazda offers the SUV in five equipment lines: Exclusive Line, Homura, Takumi, Homura Plus and Takumi Plus. As usual, the CX-80 has seven seats in three rows.

The Homura and Homura Plus models are optionally available as six-seaters and two captain’s chairs in the second row. In the Takumi Plus equipment line, two individual seats are even available with seat ventilation and a center console.
